You look at work done, vs power expanded, the ratio is efficiency. In order to move a 1000 kg car to overcome friction have it go at reasonable speed you need to apply constantly 200 Newtons of force. Take a bitch BEV with 426 km (265 mile) range and 85kWh battery gross weight 2000kg. Work done is Newton-meters, equaling Joules, which is 1/3600 Watt-hours, Force is 400 Newtons for 2000 kg car,

work = (426*1000*400) / 3600.
print (np.round(work / 85000 * 100), '%')

56.0 %

So the electric grid is 40% efficient (reducing the overall efficiency of BEVs, 60% x 40% gives 24%, making it closer to a fossil fuel powered car). One might ask, how efficient is a gas pipeline? It's over 97%. Loss in that scenario is a bug, not a feature, you plug the leaks once found, the normal operation you send molecule from one end, you expect to receive it on the other. The H2 pipelines, when finished, will have the same characteristics.

But it all helped US in the end; von Braun worked in the V-2 program, but after the war, him along with dozens of DE scientists were brought to US through the operaton Paperclip, and with the help of VB the US landed on the Moon.

.. which pushed the development of the V rockets. Amazing tidbit of history.

"The Versailles peace treaty limited the German army to 100,000 men; it was forbidden to have aircraft or antiaircraft guns, or field artillery of more than 3-inch caliber. This may explain why the German army took an early interest in rocket development; the treaty of Versailles didn't mention rockets at all"

The moral of the story is existing parties, cover all bases, help as much as possible bcz if all fails, then you get national socialism.

I am not saying Trump is Hitler

Here's how it works; shit goes bad. Existing structures fail to help. New leaders rise to fill the void, run the gamut around left and right, left bcz ppl need it, but ultimately the nationalist part which is incompatible spills over its borders, war ensues.

Nationalists do not use the L word bcz during 40s it is associated with internationalism, or [shudder], Jews! It's not used now, but they blow smoke up your ass with the word "populism" bcz Reaganism has been banging on the other word decades.

But action speaks louder than words. Trump did promise not to touch social security, Medicare, and promised to end wars during the 2016 campaign.

"Fascism developed the Italian social security system, aimed at a comprehensive restructuring of the relationships between factors of production in a 'corporatist' fashion, and nationalized banks and businesses. The second feature of the regime did not survive its end (though one may argue that its legacy has long impacted the Italian economy). But some version of social security and nationalized banks and companies did"

From Hitler's True Believers, "Insofar as Hitler had fixed ideas at the end of the Great War in 1918, high on the list was nationalism, in spite of the aspersions cast against it by mutinous sailors and rebellious soldiers tired of the fighting. Some aspects of what became his doctrine or ideology stemmed from the cluster of ideas, resentments, and passions widely shared in Germany at that time. His views and those of his comrades also reflected the fact that Germany was already a nation with a great deal of egalitarianism baked into its political culture. Almost without exception, the Nazis emphasized all kinds of socialist attitudes, to be sure a socialism 'cleansed' of international Marxism and communism. Indeed, when he looked back from 1941, Hitler said of the NSDAP in the 1920s that '90 ninety percent of it was made up by left-wing people.' He also thought it was 'decisive' that he had recognized early in his career that solving the social question was essential, and he insisted that he hated the closed world in which he grew up, where social origins determined a person’s chances in life.

That Germany on the eve of Hitler’s appointment as chancellor in January 1933 continued to have a socialist-oriented political culture can be illustrated by pointing to the last free elections of the Weimar Republic the previous November. No less than 71.6 percent of the vote went to parties with 'socialist' or 'communist' in their titles"

Yes yes.. I know all the twists and turns of that polemic... But the fact remains, fascists did enact left policies sometimes. It should not be surprising, they are trying to help people! (then organize them to kill others, but that's later).

"But that's an old debate, later conservatives said 'look Nazis were also socialist to bash the left"

Yes. By a party who called itself Nationalsozialistisch. National socialists of Germany.

"Right adapts left politics too, you said, but does not refer to it excessively. Did this happen in history before?"

"The biophysicist Jeremy England made waves in 2013 with a new theory that cast the origin of life as an inevitable outcome of thermodynamics. His equations suggested that under certain conditions, groups of atoms will naturally restructure themselves so as to burn more and more energy, facilitating the incessant dispersal of energy and the rise of 'entropy' or disorder in the universe. England said this restructuring effect, which he calls dissipation-driven adaptation, fosters the growth of complex structures, including living things. The existence of life is no mystery or lucky break, he told Quanta in 2014, but rather follows from general physical principles and “should be as unsurprising as rocks rolling downhill.'"

"While a resurgence in coronavirus cases in Texas has brought many businesses to a screeching halt, eight robots have kept All Axis Machining's metal fabrication facility in Dallas humming.

The small, nimble robots perform multiple jobs, such as machine-tending, sanding, deburring, part inspection and laser marking, leaving owner Gary Kuzmin far less dependent on manual labor. When all the workers on one shift went into self-quarantine last month, it had no impact on the facility's productivity"
